Joe and Valerie planned a beautiful day up in boulder for their engagement photos. Valerie graduated from CU so we asked nicely to go to the campus for some fun. I said nicely because if you didn’t know me and angie both graduated from CSU. Since we won the last game atleast we had bragging rights, lol. We had a lot of fun talking about when they met and their upcoming wedding at the Chateau at Fox Meadows.
Looking for more sessions like this one
I just finished working on a beautiful wedding that was shot at Donovan’s Pavilion in Vail. Donovan’s Pavilion was built in 2003 and is a timber and stone mountain lodge. We had 4 weddings there last year and I can say we love to photograph weddings in vail at Donovan’s Pavilion. This wedding was inside but most of the weddings take place on the back patio which overlooks the woods and river. Both places are beautiful . I wanted to share this image because it was so colorful and I know a lot of you brides are planning your weddings for 2011 right now. If you are doing a winter wedding and want a beautiful place with great service check out Donovans Pavilion. We will share more pictures from this wedding soon. As you can see the decor was a lot of fun and so is the pictures.

Since Colorado weather can be so unpredictable and can still snow in April I thought I would share a few pictures to cheer everyone up. Last night was interesting with snow, hail, thunder and lighting all at the same time. Angie and I went out last week to take faith our jack russel on a walk. These were shot with my holgaroid and I shot them with 669. Hopefully spring will be back soon here in colorado because we miss you.
What is a holga?
For those of you that dont know what a holga is it is a 30.00 dollar chinese toy camera. For these shots though, a polaroid back was used, instead of 120 medium format film. It was made to provide a cheap camera in the 80′s that would make it easy for the masses to take pictures of events and people. Since then it has been marketed around the world and is often used as a creative camera. The camera is very easy to use with only a few settings to learn, which adds to its appeal. You get to spend more time thinking and composing your shots then worrying about settings. Many of the characteristics of the camera including the heavy vignette and light leaks add to the creative “happy mistakes”.
Andy & I almost always bring our camera every where we go and especially the holidays we spend with our family! Today we took our mom’s to beautiful Arrowhead Golf Course for Mother’s Day brunch and had a great time! The food and the weather were both great and of course the photography session there was fun! We bought our mom’s giant cards, because…..well….if you were in the store with us and saw them, you would understand! Just thought we would share a couple of photos of the moms we love!
Happy Mother’s Day!
